Gabourey Sidibe's Mother Slams Howard Stern Over 'Fat' Comments

Gabourey Sidibe's mother has told Howard Stern to "get a life" after the shock jock made a series of unflattering comments about the plus-size actress' weight.

Stern caused controversy last week after criticizing the "Precious" star on his Sirius radio show, urging the 26 year old to seek help because "obesity" is a life-threatening condition. He also claimed she will find it difficult to land any more roles in Hollywood because of her portly frame - and Sidibe's mom, Alice Tan Ridley, is fuming over the DJ's unkind comments.

She tells Inside Edition, "Get a life. He can see, you can see, I can see Gabby is a big girl. She's a big woman, so what's wrong with that? She's not like everyone else in the world. I don't see him giving jobs out to anybody, so why should we care what he says? He might not hire her, but someone else will!"
